against poor fire protection. The mains
| which are laid only as fer north as Sixth
street are so remote that all the hose
the fire department has will not reach
some of the north side property, and as
the residents OF that neighborhood pay
as heavy q tax as people living in the
heart of the CITY they feel that they
should be protected against fires.
